The media has just announced that Russia, Iran, and Qatar have agreed to create a Natural Gas OPEC that will control over 60% of the natural gas supply in the world: "We are consolidating the largest gas reserves in the world, the general strategic interests and, what is very important, the high potential for cooperation on three-party projects," a spokesman said in a statement from Gazprom. What he called the "big gas troika" would meet three or four times a year. What is interesting, is to see how this will affect Poland, and whether the European Union and the United States, which are staunchly opposed to this arbitrary free market control, will be able to prevent this from happening. It is clear that Russia is vying for a shared control of the strategic world resources ... just as did the Soviets! But the alliance with Qatar and Iran is particularly intriguing.
